The experts who now assure us that genetically engineered plants are harmless are the same experts who claimed that introducing non-native plants into the wild was a good idea. It is too late to be skeptical now that some non-native plants have become a serious problem. But we should conclude, while we still have time, that genetically engineered plants will also be harmful.
The flawed reasoning in which one of the following most closely parallels the flawed reasoning in the argument above?
(A) The same people who complain that taxes are too high complain that the government does not provide enough services. We should conclude that high taxes and big government go together.
(B) The film critics who called Meisner’s last film brilliant are the same ones who are calling her new film confused and boring. But because Meisner’s last film was excellent I conclude that this one will be also.
(C) The economists who tell us that the current economic expansion will soon be over are the same economists who failed to predict the end of the last recession. Wise investors will conclude that the expansion will continue for some time.
(D) Children who beg and plead with their parents to buy them trendy toys are the same children who begged for trendy toys last year. I conclude that parents ought to ignore such pleadings and simply buy traditional toys.
(E) The population experts who are predicting world food shortages in the next decade are the same ones who have erroneously predicted such shortages in the past. Therefore, if there are food shortages in the next decade, it will not be because population experts predicted them.

The answer is c. Two things predicted. One of them has already been proven wrong. We can expect the second prediction to be wrong as well. Parallel with the ques.

Awfully long amount of reading required it was a battle between the economic recession and world food shortages after bit of thought the effect cannot be attributed to the scientists , only that their prediction should be wron i chose E a tricky one to transverse
